Howay 12496 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Aye seems like it was set up by Marseilles while us and West Ham went along with it. Stupid cunts. Edited April 26, 2017 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17074 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So maybe it's put to the buying club (maybe through agent/3rd party) " there's a very decent drink for you if you buy x player then lend him back to us 12 months later" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21804 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Now you think about it. It seems pretty obvious neither Pardew or mcclaren fancied cabella or thauvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17074 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Tbf to Pardew if he was aware this sort of shit was going on no wonder he walked at the first opportunity. There's one thing getting players brought in for you that you get some sort of a say in but if the players were coming in only so Charnley could line his pockets...

The Mighty Hog 508 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Now you think about it. It seems pretty obvious neither Pardew or mcclaren fancied cabella or thauvin The story that came out was that Thauvin didn't want to come in the first place and it was Marseilles that persuaded him to move.

Park Life 71 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) HMRC want to stop wasting their time with peanuts of a few football bungs and get after billionaires with shell companies and offshore funds. Looks like nothing more than a PR stunt. Â The case with Juve and others (Conte) was with regard to match fixing and using EPO, Serie A is riddled with various scams. Totally different to what we have here which is a tiny bit of tax embroidering. Edited April 26, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30235 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The worry is that if Louise Taylor's mutterings about a takeover had any truth to them then this would put an end to any chances of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19875 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 https://twitter.com/rcfoster/status/857219345877020672 Loads of fans on my social media of other clubs were straight away saying 'Great point deductions etc' Â I said not as it was the HMRC and not the FA investiagting this.

ewerk 30235 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I would imagine that if HMRC find us guilty of any wrongdoing then the FA would probably be within their rights to punish us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It sounds like the investigation goes wider than us and the 'ammers. In which case it'll run on for years. I doubt it would impact a sale, not that there will be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Aye, someone mentioned that yesterday. The FA's powers are quite wide ranging. Though without a recent precedent it's impossible to know what they would do. If we're talking about one or two transfers rather than a blanket policy like the one Rangers used then I don't think that much will come of it.

The Fish 10695 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Funny how interested they are isn't it? Bunch of idiots, it'll be a big conspiracy if we just get fined. Â Charnley taken in by HMRC = "Mags have been done for tax fraud" Zero further details = "They'll definitely get a points deduction and a transfer ban" Hours later = "Swindon!" Weeks later when the actual details begin to emerge = "eh, how're they getting away with it when everyone knows they've been done for tax fraud" Months after when punishments are meted out = "How're they not getting a points deduction or a transfer ban when everyone agreed that was most likely?!" When they start their season away to Fleetwood = "What about Swindon!" When a 1-1 draw at home to Burton kills their hopes of the Play-Offs and keeps them in the Championship for another year = "Typical mags get away with everything, it's a conspiracy. Cabal of Newcastle businessmen." Â Tbf to Pardew if he was aware this sort of shit was going on no wonder he walked at the first opportunity. There's one thing getting players brought in for you that you get some sort of a say in but if the players were coming in only so Charnley could line his pockets... First opportunity? I reckon he had a few chances to fuck off before Palace came calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5168 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 If it turns out that the real culprit here is Marseille, as seems likely considering that both English clubs have been dealing with them, then this will surely be nothing more than a slap on the wrist. They have to punish West Ham as hard as us for one thing, and I doubt the FA is going to want to issue points deductions to two well supported clubs. It'd make next season a complete farce. Â I think the biggest annoyance is what ewerk mentioned about the takeover though - no one will buy us while this is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34810 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The takeover stuff was probably just clickbait anyway tbh. Apparently Charnley has been released without charge and is back at work today. Which is good news. Or the first half of that sentence is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 What we need is for one of the big boys to come under scrutiny which would probably make the FA think again about points deductions.The FA of course could give the big club a lesser punishment and make an example of either us,West ham or both of us.
